EMHC is passively managed and provides broad exposure to USD-denominated debt securities issued by governments and their affiliates from emerging countries. The fund includes both investment-grade and high-yield bonds but features a ratings cap and floor. Bonds with ratings of Aa3/AA-/AA- and above or Caa3/CCC-/CCC- and below are excluded. The index includes bonds with remaining maturities of at least two years and an original maturity of more than five years. Constituents are weighted by market value with a cap of 5% per individual country. The index is rebalanced and reconstituted on the last business day of every month. Prior to October 31, 2024, the fund tracked the Bloomberg Emerging USD Bond Core Index.
